The FT reports that a large number of wealthy private philanthropists see the advantage in living like the world’s poor for a week - and are willing to pay 8,000 pounds for the privledge (along with a course on how to be a better philanthropist). That’s a lot of money, but the organizers say they that there is more demand than they can accomodate.
